s"Happiness comes when you reach out in solidarity to your neighbor, when you lend your hand to the stranger or the outcast, when you are willing to lose your life to save it. Happiness comes when you have the capacity to love." -Chris Hedges

Chris Hedges has written a new article titled "The 1 Percent's Useful Idiots." Hedges has been at the forefront of not only the diagnosis, but of reality-based solutions to the problems increasingly faced by all American people. Drawing from his extensive career covering massively corrupt governments and their suffocating systems of control as a career journalist, Hedges has shown to have an unfortunately accurate track record chronicling the lose of America to monopolistic corporate power. As the political machine rumbles forward in Philadelphia at the Democratic National Convention, solutions and hope have taken a backseat to new levels of censorship and abusive political/corporate control.

"Change will come when we have the tenacity, as many Sanders delegates did, to refuse to cooperate, to say no, to no longer participate in the political charade. Change will come when we begin acts of sustained mass civil disobedience. Change will come when the fear the corporate state uses to paralyze us is used by us to paralyze the corporate state.The Russian writer Alexander Herzen, speaking a century ago to a group of anarchists about how to overthrow the czar, reminded his listeners that it was not their job to save a dying system but to replace it: “We think we are the doctors. We are the disease.” -Chris Hedges​
